COMSTOCK PARK, Mich. (WZZM) -- Within a safe environment, students jumped behind the wheel of their own vehicles to practice various driving techniques.

The goal: learning all about their cars' handling limits and what's best to control them in real-world situations.

Fifth Third Ball Park's parking lot played host to the Tire Rack Street Survival class Sunday morning. Some of the main components of the course included learning about the physics behind the wheel, paying attention to traffic and, of course, wearing a seatbelt.

COMSTOCK PARK, Mich (WZZM) -- It was Game 2 of the Midwest League finals Thursday night, and win or lose, it was the season's last game in West Michigan.

"A lot of people come out here to have fun -- that's what we are selling, is fun," says team president Scott Jones. "If the team wins, it's a bonus."

"Whether or not we have a low-A or high-A or AA club, I don't think that's going to matter if we bring a good game day experience," says Steve McCarthy, the team's vice president of sales.

This has been a spectacular year for the Whitecaps, both on the field and on the concourse.

"Anytime we open a season, something new is at the ballpark and we've always strived for that," says Jones. "This year was the new office, on top is the Bud Bow Tie Deck which we sold 48 times out of 70 dates, and then finally the Founders Clubhouse which has been a huge hit."

ALPINE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WZZM) -- Two adults and a child were hurt in a crash Friday afternoon in Kent County's Alpine Township.

Deputies were dispatched around 5 p.m. to Fruit Ridge Ave. and 6 Mile Rd. NW on a report of a two-car crash.

They found a 61-year-old Kentwood man had been westbound on 6 Mile and ran the stop sign at Fruit Ridge. His vehicle collided with a minivan driven by a 40-year-old Grandville man who had two passengers, a 7-year-old boy and a 4-year-old boy.

Both drivers had non-life-threatening injuries. The Kentwood man was hospitalized at Mercy Health Saint Mary's, while the Grandville man was taken to Spectrum Health Butterworth. The 4-year-old was hospitalized with serious injuries. The 7-year-old was not hurt.

Deputies said alcohol is not believed to be a factor, and the crash is still under investigation.
